Program history

Early years

The roots of the current hockey program can be traced back to the Lowell Technological College where hockey started as a club program in 1966–67 named the Terriers and coached by Richard Morrison. The original rink was outdoors at Cushing Field on North Campus. In 1969 Coach Bill Riley was hired to take over the program and was at the helm of a very colorful run for the next 21 years. After the 1975 merger with Lowell State College to become University of Lowell, the hockey program had become known as the Chiefs in the early 1970s, but were still without a proper facility. Lack of a proper rink was no deterrent for Coach Riley, who benefited from talent being produced locally due to popularity of Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
